My baby is a week older than Roman and often fights his last nap and just has the one. It depends what time he wakes up as well, if he wakes up at 8amish then he only has the one nap. It can happen

Yeah my little girl will sometimes nap for ages on some days but at the moment is going through a phase where her naps are short which I just worry will lead to overtiredness and trouble sleeping at night.
i think what surprised me is her causal tone of ‘oh he only sleeps once’ in one breath it’s like she is saying ‘oh look how advanced’ but in the other she wants us to feel sorry for her cause she has to get up early now to put on make up.
haha yeah this is it - she wants to put across that Roman is this perfect angel baby that does everything right alllll the time.

Ah yeah that’s my fear - the overtiredness - if my baby doesn’t sleep well in the day so I know the feeling!!!I have twins the same age on the odd day one has refused their 2nd nap of the day they have been a complete nightmare to get to sleep which I’ve put Down to overtiredness!!!
So correct me if I’m wrong but her child eats everything, breastfeeds all day and sleeps like a dream every night, who is she kidding

I can see my baby being a once a day napper by a year but if it’s a 2 hour one I think I could live with thatunfortunately it can happenmy 16 month old has been on 1 nap since he was about a ye
Although his one nap is 2 hours long.
I follow a few breastfeeding pages on Instagram and they’ve all been creaming themselves over Lucy’s photo and talking about how amazing she is

My daughter is 18 months and was only on 1 nap from about 10 months. If she had 2 she would only nap for around 30 mins each but if had 1 afternoon nap would sleep around 2 hours and slept 8-8
You just have to figure out what's best, I always thought one longer nap was better than 2 shorter ones since she was happier for it

This is true, and a lovely 2 hour nap pretty much covers what they need anyway doesn’t it and if it doesn’t effect night sleep I say all the better. It’s interesting hearing different experiences! My daughter still has 2 but the past three days or so her 2nd nap has become much shorter. If it continues I may try and give her one nap to see if she goes longer in just one go!My daughter is 18 months and was only on 1 nap from about 10 months.

My little one is a week or so older than the almighty king Roman and has two naps sometimes three in the day. If not she’s a right mardy sodInteresting she says that Roman doesn’t nap in the morning anymore when I’ve read that babies should be having 2 naps until they are 15-18 months..... my baby is 5 days younger and still has 2 naps. Some days some are longer than others but still. Everywhere says babies need 2-3 hours in a day to promote good sleep. I’m surprised Roman can last a whole day on one nap while being still so young. But I’ve never had a baby before so I don’t know what is really the norm and all babies are different, just surprised me is all. 2 naps does take a lot of doing and structure i must say!!
Yeah exactly! I just go with whatever works for us. Like yesterday she didn't get up til 10 because she didn't sleep til 10 night before so she ended up not having one so she would go to sleep at 8 and she did
I need a nap just as much as she does most days hahaha
I think there is many things we can critique Lucy on, but the one nap thing I can't!
Turning your ring light on and filming yourself doing a workout while your baby eats in the background is not mum goals. Be present with your baby at these times, even if only for the safety aspect!
Oh wow that’s so long sleep!! Yeah you do just have to go with them and what they need don’t you.Yeah exactly! I just go with whatever works for us.

oh yeah not critique just wondering about it all really. You know how she comes across though - as if her way is the best way all the time so I was just curious/ wondering is all.
Yeha I thought this - what happens if Roman chocked on his breakfast?? But also.... it seems a bit sad to just leave him to it while she exercises. I don’t know - weird to me. But don’t worry guys, he ate it ALL
Haha yeah this is what I worry with with my little one - proper grizzly!!!My little one is a week or so older than the almighty king Roman and has two naps sometimes three in the day. If not she’s a right mardy sod
Ach yeah I know what you mean! Plus it can be quite easy to go with guidance but it's all trial and error cos sometimes it doesn't work! When it came to it I just tried putting her down at different times and seeing what happened and that's how the 2nd nap got dropped hahaOh wow that’s so long sleep!! Yeah you do just have to go with them and what they need don’t you.

I'll admit I sometimes look at my phone a bit too much when mine is having lunch beside me but i wouldn't do a full on work out with her to my back. Like wtf?
Trial and error is the way really - although I’ve tended to try and follow guidance cause of the pandemic and not really seeing anyone to chat to for advice, you know??
Why couldn’t she do a combined mum and baby work out?!? I’ve done a few where you hold your baby! Not ideal all the time, but she only did 10 minutes! Or put him in front of her!?
Oh no of course don't get me wrong I've looked it all up and followed it in the first instance, and deviated if it wasn't working for us! Like I'm lucky enough to not have to worry about getting mine to stop using a dummy (stopped at 5 months) or bottle (stopped by the time she turned 1). But does she go to sleep herself? Nah snuggles to sleep most of the time
they're all different and different things suit different parents! At the end of the day we all know our babies better than anyone else and what works for us. As long as they're not in any potential danger thats all that matters
TBH looking at her body, probably could've skipped the workout today anyway. Why would you workout when your baby is eating anyway? Surely at 10 months, even if baby is eating finger food they still help and full supervision.
What the duck does Ryan actually do in that house?! You’re telling me he can’t mind his own son for half an hour whilst Lucy gets showered and sorted?
Granted he may be away or something, but then that still doesn’t justify all her whinging about having to get up “early”.
I can’t wait until a Roman is a toddler and all that precious sleep training goes out the window. She won't know her arse from her elbow

She definitely puts it on to make out she’s some sort of Wonder Woman, but anyone think they don’t spend much time together these days? They don’t appear to be living together, just visiting each other occasionally?What the duck does Ryan actually do in that house?!

You are so right!’ It’s all about what your baby needs isn’t it. We are now back up to 3 naps and she seems a lot happier with that so for now I’m going that way!!Oh no of course don't get me wrong I've looked it all up and followed it in the first instance, and deviated if it wasn't working for us!

today Lucy hits more levels of unbearable ‘he had seconds’!!!
Makes you wonder if he's lost that stop when he's full reflex babies have. It was such a full plate, like i know it was basically vegetables but still...
